For those who retain a post-orthodox religious temperament in post-modernity, Robert S. Corrington’s evolving account of Ecstatic Naturalism might prove a challenging, engaging framework for a transcendental naturalism…. Those inclined to an experiential, naturalistic view of religion should find his provocative philosophical theology intriguing… The essay collection may function best as a complement to Corrington's two latest works, Deep Pantheism: Toward a New Transcendentalism (2015) and Nature’s Sublime: An Essay in Aesthetic Naturalism (2013), careful explications of his evolving, mature, systematic approach… Corrington’s Ecstatic Naturalism helps reveal those hidden potencies that so much of our modern social constructs serve to obscure.
